8. HUMANITIES: The term Humanities comes from the Latin word, “ humanitas ” It generally refers to art, literature, music, architecture, dance and the theatre—in which human subjectivity is emphasized and individual expressiveness is dramatized.

9. HUMANITIES: Humanities refers to academic disciplines that study human culture and society, with a focus on understanding the human condition, exploring creativity, and examining the values and beliefs that define civilizations.

10. HUMANITIES: The fields of knowledge and study falling under humanities are dedicated to the pursuit of discovering and understanding the nature of man.

16. What is Art?

17. The great Russian novelist Leo N. Tolstoy (1828-1910), author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina, developed his own original philosophy of art. He argues that art is important even amidst extensive poverty and deprivation .

18.   In order correctly to define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and to consider it as one of the conditions of human life. Every work of art causes the receiver to enter into a certain kind of relationship both with him who produced, or is producing the art, and with all those who, simultaneously, previously, or subsequently, receive the same artistic impression. SALIENT POINTS IN TOLSTOY’S DEFINITION OF ART

19.  Speech, transmitting the thoughts and experiences of men, serves as a means of union among them, and art acts in a similar manner. The activity of art is based on the fact that a man, receiving through his sense of hearing or sight another man's expression of feeling, is capable of experiencing the emotion which moved the man who expressed it.  SALIENT POINTS IN TOLSTOY’S DEFINITION OF ART

20. Art begins when one person, with the object of joining another or others to himself in one and the same a feeling, expresses that feeling by certain external indications.   To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling - this is the activity of art.  SALIENT POINTS IN TOLSTOY’S DEFINITION OF ART

21. Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings and also experience them.  All human life is filled with works of art of every kind - from cradlesong, jest, mimicry, the ornamentation of houses, dress, and utensils, up to church services, buildings, monuments, and triumphal processions. It is all artistic activity.  SALIENT POINTS IN TOLSTOY’S DEFINITION OF ART

Aesthetics : Creating and appreciating art can be about beauty, pleasure, and the joy of creating something that resonates on a sensory level.

Therapy : For many, art serves as a therapeutic outlet, helping to process and manage emotions and mental health.

28. The Material Value Works of art may be valued because they are made of a precious material. During the Middle Ages in Europe, ancient Greek bronze statues were not valued for their aesthetic character, nor for what they might have revealed about Greek culture. Instead their value lay in the fact that they could be melted down and reformed into weapons.
